Watching an episode of Property Brothers and the young couple has 1.1 million to purchase a house. They look at a house that is too expensive (as everyone of these episodes goes) they get angry because they cannot afford it and ask the scripted question, "Why would you show us a house we cannot afford?" More scripted answers, then they show two or three really ugly houses.
My question is why would you spend all of that money to rehab an old ugly house only to discover there are "hidden" problems that will magically be solved for all or nearly all of your max budget, instead of just BUILDING A NEW HOUSE??? It could be an excellent show except for the scripting and high reno and staging costs. Why do the brothers have to pick such absurdly expensive furniture and appliances, most of which I would prefer to pick out myself? I also wonder how many of these homeowners end up being disappointed about spending so much money? I know, it is HGTV but some of this stuff is absurd.
